As the sun entered Nick's room, Elaine opened her eyes and saw Nick still sleeping next to her. Elaine smiled at Nick "Good morning Nick" Elaine said and kissed Nick's head. Elaine turned to the desk and picked up the phone when it rang the incoming message, Elaine read the message and her face turned sad, she saw Nick still asleep, and she slowly got up from the bed and took the bag and left Nick's house.
Nick moves his hand to find Elaine but nothing, and he opens his eyes and sees Elaine is gone and he gets up walks out of the room and heads to Elaine's room but she is gone. Nick saw a memo on the living room table "Nick, thank you for letting me sleep in your house, I don't want you awake, so I'll go home first" Nick stuck the memo to the wall of the refrigerator and went to the bathroom.
Elaine got out of the cab and saw Darren waiting for her, she walked towards Darren "What are you doing near here, I have work after this" Elaine said and stood in front of Darren. Darren looked at Elaine "You didn't go home last night, where did you go" Darren asked while holding back his anger. Elaine let out a tired breath "I slept at work place, so I went home to take a shower and go again" Elaine said.
Darren wanted to hold Elaine hands but again Elaine dodged "You look like you've changed, you didn't let me touch you, why" Darren asked. Elaine looked at Darren "I have something to say after I finish work today, and no one can determine whatever decision I make" Elaine said firmly and got into the elevator. Darren looked back and felt fear in his heart.
Elaine was overjoyed when the painting on the 2nd floor wall was ready and the final touch was coloring. Elaine stopped to rest first and eat, She saw Ziana enter the store and put the food she brought "I have brought crayfish and dumplings for you, and want to see your first work" Ziana said and looked at the wall. Elaine opened both containers "Woah, the crayfish skin is ready to be discarded and the dumplings are very tasty, thank you my dear friend" Elaine said and sent a fly kiss to her friend. Ziana caught and stepped on her high heels. They both laughed.
After finishing the meal, Elaine started coloring the wall while Ziana sat looking. "How are you and Darren now, all the friends already know about your relationship and I support you making love with him" Ziana said.
Elaine continued to color as she spoke "I'm with him already broken up, I'm trying to love as well as think about him and think of all the good deeds he did for me but I don't want to waste his time" Elaine said.
"You still love Nick, don't you won't forget who tortured you and who loved you" Ziana said slightly objecting. Elaine stopped coloring and washed her hands and sat in a chair while wiping her hands with a towel "Yeah i remember, but now I think being single is better and even if I break up with Darren, I don't necessarily go back to Nick" Elaine said.
Ziana stood up "Everything will have an end to the story of the three of you, and then I'm sure you'll be happy" She said. Elaine took the bag and walked out of the store with Ziana.
At a coffee shop, Darren waits for Elaine. Elaine entered the store and went over to Darren and sat in the chair and placing the bag on the chair next to her. The waiter came to take their order "I'm lemon ice and he's chocolate" Elaine said and the waiter nodded understanding and left. Elaine opened the bag and took the ring given by Darren as a sign of their love, Elaine handed the ring
"Actually Darren, I came to see you because I don't want to have any relationship with you other than just being friends after this, maybe you're surprised why I asked to break up without you know the cause because I just realized that I do not love you and all this time we are in love because of the kindness and protection that you have given me all this time" Said Elaine.
As the world went dark, Darren couldn't believe it all, he held Elaine's hand tightly "If I did something wrong, you can get angry as well as hit me but don't leave me, I beg you" Darren pleaded. Elaine looked into Darren's sad eyes and she pulled her hand away "You're not wrong, I just can't force myself to continue our relationship that all, Darren you know if I make any decision, I won't change back, I hope you don't force me after this" Said Elaine in a sad tone.
Elaine got up and got out of the store and got into her car. Darren closed his mouth and cried silently. "This is the best way for you Darren, because if anyone knew about your past actions, you would have gone to jail and your career might have been ruined and now I can still forgive you but if you're still like before, I won't forgive you" She said in her heart.
At home, shattered, broken and damaged everything, Darren leaned back in his chair and stared at the picture of Elaine in his hand "The thing I feared had come, Elaine, you belong to me and I will not let you leave me even if one day I have to kill you, and if you can't belong to me, you can't belong to anyone too" Darren said and laughed out loud.
Darren woke up and he heard a little boy crying and slowly he walked towards the voice and saw his little self standing with bruises and wounds on his face and whole limbs, Darren tried to hold the boy's hand but he was shocked when the boy was pulled into in the room and beaten again. Darren covered both his ears and sat down on the stairs "Please stop, don't hit me, I'm sorry" Darren pleaded in fear.
